The Mainstream Media Turns the Truth Upside Down
By Matt O'Brien July 30, 2019 6 Comments
The Wall Street Journalrecently ran a piece titled, “Attorney General Blocks Asylum Applications Based on Family Ties.†The article discusses Attorney General (AG) William Barr’s reversal of a Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) decision which held that a Mexican national could seek asylum because his father was allegedly being targeted by Mexican organized crime.
The Journal notes that, “Federal law gives the attorney general the authority to overrule the immigration appeals board’s decisions.†But then, it quotes an Ohio immigration lawyer who characterizes AG Barr’s decision as “a surreptitious attempt to change the asylum law.†That characterization is absurd.
